Re: honey vs wax

Most people do not specify location on the wax, Just advertise local honey, and take a don't ask policy. If they ask if the wax is local tell them no, unless it is. but if they do not ask don't mention it. That way you are not misrepresenting your product.

Re: honey vs wax

I agree with Tenbears, people typically are not concerned with whether the beeswax is local or not, but some ARE interested in its purity, especially those wanting to use it in lip balms and/or lotions. With that in mind I would be careful of the source of any beeswax I bought for resale. Not all beeswax sold is processed with an equal amount of care. Some beekeepers will melt old brood frames down which can smell badly from multiple brood cycles and might have been exposed to medications. Only wax from honey supers should be sold to customers who will be using it for candles, cosmetics etc.
